It's another Discotek Day! That means Discotek Media had a new handful of home video announcements to make, with all the latest additions making their way to stores on October 27.
Leading the charge is the Blu-ray release of Symphogear Season 1, which will be presented in Japanese with English subs, including clean opening and ending, promos, commercials, and more.
Synopsis:
With the coming of spring, Hibiki Tachibana and Miku Kohinata start their first year in high school at the prestigious Lydian Music Academy. That their idol, the singer Tsubasa Kazanari, also attends Lydian is just an added bonus. Neither of them know that their lives are about to change forever. Neither of them know that the first, awakening beat is almost upon them.
Next up is New Getter Robo on Blu-ray, packing in all 13 episodes in Japanese with English subs and the English dub.
Synopsis:
Huge monsters stalk the earth!
Resembling the ancient legends of Oni, the monsters begin attacking the laboratory where Professor Saotome has been developing the Getter Robo, a robot so powerful it overwhelms ordinary pilots!
Professor Saotome has to locate three of the most dangerous men on the planet to draft as pilots: Ryoma the fighter, Hayato the bezerker and Benkei the giant!
Isuca is coming to Blu-ray in Japanese with English subs, including uncensored versions of all 10 TV episodes and the OVA episode.
Synopsis:
Shinichiro Asano’s parents have left the country, so a guy’s gotta work to make ends meet. One night when he’s walking home after his shift, a woman exposes herself to him in the street, popping not only out of her clothes--but out of her skin, too! Fortunately he’s saved from becoming a demon snack by a mysterious, bow-wielding girl. But that’s not the end to the strange coincidences. At school the next day, he finds a seriously injured girl, and the terrible creature responsible.
Before he knows it, Shinichiro is in the fight of his life alongside the girl who saved him. And not only is Sakuya a demon-slaying exorcist, she’s his classmate too! Shinichiro’s biggest concern may have been making rent before, but now he’s entered a whole new world, and he’s got secrets of his own that even he doesn’t know about.
You can never have enough Lupin! Discotek's next release is Lupin the 3rd: The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure on Blu-ray, with the original English dub and the Japanese language track with English subs. Features include translation notes, an essay on Homophobia in '90s Anime, and a vintage credits collection.
Synopsis:
THE BANDIT HARIMAO'S TREASURE IS WITHIN REACH!
The infamous bandit Harimao hid a treasure, and to retrieve it, Lupin and the gang must gather three lost statues. When the Nazi-like group Neo-Himmel make a run for the goods, Lupin reluctantly partners with the aging “double-O” MI-6 agent Sir Archer and his granddaughter Diana to gather the statues first. Can this unorthodox team bond well enough to see this mission through? Will Lupin maybe even punch a Nazi in the process? Find out in The Pursuit of Harimao’s Treasure!
Finally, we have Osamu Tezuka's Cleopatra on Blu-ray, in Japanese with English subs. In addition to the remastered video, features include a theatrical trailer, art gallery, and commentary with Helen McCarthy.
Synopsis:
AN AMAZING, AMOROUS, AND ANCIENT TALE FROM OSAMU TEZUKA, JAPAN’S GOD OF MANGA
“[An] ambitious, schizophrenic, anachronistic, historical epic.” - Dave Merrill, Let’s Anime
A kooky, erotic, and sublimely strange journey from ancient Alexandria to Rome
From the far-flung future, to the year 47 B.C.
In a distant future where the threat of alien invasion looms, a trio of explorers make a startling discovery: the solution to their plight is buried somewhere in the affairs of Cleopatra, the woman who would be Queen of Egypt in Julius Caesar’s time. These stalwart travellers cast their minds back thousands of years, to a time when the Roman Dictator Caesar manages tenuous alliances that stretch from Iberia to Galatia. But Marcus Antonius and Octavian plot to kill Caesar; their secret weapon is Cleopatra, willful and seductive sister of the Pharaoh Ptolemy. The time travelers soon become swept up in intrigue, inhabiting the bodies of a young girl, a strapping gladiator, and a randy leopard. Will they find their answers? Will Caesar navigate the lethal, comically absurd politics of the time, and unite the ancient world under his thumb? Or will the enigmatic, sexy Cleopatra be the one to change the course of history?
